Well, I think that you should have such partition.  This one have a
Phoenix bios, no?  Try lphdisk at http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/
or do a apt-get install lphdisk if you are on a Debian GNU/Linux.

The Flags part say that you can not use S4Bios, certainly because the
BIOS know that you don't have a suspend partition.

The Flags part have bit 0 set if you can enter S4Bibos.
